Improved web performance has boosted content customization and currently delivers faster user experiences
From my perspective, I see some weaknesses in Amazon CloudFront; I would rate the product something around nine out of ten, but there are disadvantages compared to its competitors. Talking specifically about Amazon CloudFront, I think they could have some additional features in the future, and I believe they may lack certain functionalities.

Works without interruption, scales well, and has perfect uptime
Our website works without interruption almost until late at night, as many students have the opportunity to study in the evening. Most of all, we appreciate the stable and fast work of g-core. Uptime is always perfect. With such a volume of data as we have, failures can occur from time to time. The support solves everything in the shortest possible time. I love that the guys are constantly trying to improve the service. Our online school is expanding every year, and there are no problems that our provider can’t solve. They also have the opportunity to negotiate individual conditions for complex sites.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"One of the most valuable features of CloudFront is the reduced latency due to its edge locations, which results in a very fast delivery of data."
"The tool is highly available and reliable. It helps to access server applications easily. Integrating Amazon CloudFront with other AWS services was very easy, I would rate it eight out of ten."
"Amazon CloudFront provides valuable security by ensuring secure file access when accessing files from S3."
"We can personalize a lot of things inside CDN."
"The UI and the functionality in AWS for CloudFront is much better as compared to Azure and GCP."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the speed of delivery."
"The product’s most valuable feature is the availability of the websites."
"Scalability is 10 out of 10; there are no issues."
"Uptime is always perfect."
"The CDN interface is intuitive and user-friendly, and there are no intrusive ads or upselling additional services. Everything is self-contained, and it's a convenient CDN overall. We also loved that they provided a free trial period. They always seem to do what's best for the consumer and the internet."
"Since transitioning to G-Core, our site has started working much faster, and freezes have stopped. Users are staying on the site longer and visiting more sections. We increased the number of customers by 30 percent in the past six months. This is partially attributable to G-Core services."
"The support is amazing! They solve the issues on the fly."
 

Cons

"The pricing for Amazon CloudFront is quite expensive; I would rate it six if we use all edges. The price could be optimized."
"The solution could be more simplified for new users. It could be more user-friendly."
"Support needs to be enhanced."
"The distribution networks need to be a little bit more user-friendly in the way that new users are not able to configure the CloudFront distribution as easily as experienced users."
"There is a bit of a workaround required for custom domain management on CloudFront."
"During the setup phase, there were some hiccups in terms of security, the user role, and the permissions."
"It might benefit from multi-region support to enhance performance."
"The tool must provide regional control."
"I would like to have one optimized report that we could use for our own needs."
"There are some nuances in the tariff configurations that we found confusing. We would like more flexibility in this area."
"It would be great if there were a section on the provider's website that shows a set of services for a particular business. It would be helpful to have some kind of checklist of services that are suitable for your blog, which are required, and which can be set up later."
"Once in the past six months, we got a "site is unavailable" error for a maximum of 20 minutes."
